In terms of support and resources, what do you recommend to prospective students considering Northeastern Law?
Other students are definitely the most helpful resource. I recommend doing a tour (virtual or in-person) or speaking with student ambassadors to answer any questions you have. Feel free to ask about anything including schedules, courses, grading, extracurriculars, clinics, co-ops and living in Boston in general.

What extracurricular activities have you been involved with at Northeastern?
Women's Law Caucus, Northeastern Law Review, Business Law Society, Sports and Entertainment Law Society,  Family Law and Juvenile Justice Society.

What has been your favorite part about doing co-op while at NUSL? Can you describe the experience?  
I loved gaining real-world experience that is applicable to the areas of law that interest me most. It is also very helpful to meet attorneys in these fields and gain an understanding of what the day-to-day work looks like and how they got to that point in their careers. I did my first co-op at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in the Office of General Counsel. There I was able to work on projects within the three practice groups (corporate/healthcare, labor/employment, and IP). I'm excited to continue to learn and develop new skills at my co-op this summer which will be with Ropes & Gray in their Boston office doing transactional work.

Lindley's Journal

When I was applying to law school, I was curious what a day-in-the-life of a law student looked like. I wanted to know how often students had class, when they did their homework, and if it was true that they had no free time. While I found random TikTok videos of a day-in-the-life and mock class schedules, I did not find a weekly schedule that was all-encompassing. This is an example of what my weekly schedule looks like as a 2L here at Northeastern Law. The only big differences between a 1L schedule and a 2L schedule is that, as a 1L, you have 2-3 more class blocks and usually have Friday class.
